It's been a busy few weeks. I ended up selling the 93 ford ranger and bought an 02 f250. It's got 170k on it and is in pretty good shape. Just completely neglected, filthy and not maintained. A buddy and I started in 2 weeks ago, between ordering parts and cleaning and working on it, its really...

After digging in a bit yesterday, it does have a rubber layer on the upper wheel. Just grimy and a bit hard. Will work on that and see if I can clean it up. The tension wheel and what appears to be an alignment adjustment wheel are both there, but gunked up and need cleaning... Should be a fun...

Picked this up off the side of the road yesterday. Chicago electric 14". Pretty rough shape, but the motor seems to run smooth...wheels spin, but no tension on the blade. Table feels like cast iron, but is pretty rusty. Will clean it up and see if I can get it functional.

Starting on the next old piece of farm equipment. Will rebuild and put out as more yard art assuming I can figure what it was supposed to look like....pretty sure there are missing pieces. Google says its an antique walking behind plow...

Had one last piece of the beetle kill pine and decided to make an outdoor bar for the little cabin nextdoor.

Thats the one I have and I love it...

Yeah, still in my early 60s so I have a couple of decades to get this wrapped up. I have about 6 or 7 of the Stanley organizing trays to go through. Its actually pretty nice to sit and have coffee in the morning and work through it

Let my OCD run a little crazy today while having my coffee.... Tired of digging through baggies, jars and trays to find the right sizes.. . Trying to get a little organized. Should be finished before I die....

Made some old looking, new handles for the antique plow in the yard....

Found a firetv on Amazon for 69.00 and decided that would work better than my 20+ year old laptop....

For the past few months we've been renovating the little cabin nextdoor. Yesterday I spent most of the day bringing my tools, various leftover materials and odds and ends back to the shop. Dumped it all on the floor in the middle of the shop and now I get to to spend the next couple of days...

So, the property we bought has a few old farm implements on it. Completely buried in brush and leaves.. .today, we cleared around them so you can actually see them. The sickle bar mower is missing some parts, but still cool for yard art. Its from the Thomas Company in OH and appears to be an...

I actually missed by about 1/2"......trying not to let it drive me insane...

A buddy gave me a section of quartz countertop for the little cabin nextdoor. Enrolled in youtube university for a couple hours and learned how to cut and polish and set the sink....viola!

I've got a couple slabs of beetle kill pine and the designer/boss/wife, wanted some shelves for the bedroom instead of nightstands... Cleaned out the holes with a dental pick and vacuum, then filled them with some drown epoxy and coated with poly....
